Vintage Records, 1903

We found an old box, opened it up and came across 20 or so old records dating all the way back to 1903.

We will take some more photos and gather the information about each record and upload to our blog soon. 

Here is one from the box. 

It reads:

Dated September 22, 1903 - January 5, 1904 – January 3, 1905 – August 11, 1908

Reclaimed Wood

We have been very busy working on our new shop and starting to clean up around all the old barns and buildings that we are reclaiming.



This is just a small video showing a few of the barns we are working on right now and should have finished by the end of Feb 2015. On top of reclaiming all these old woods we will be documenting on film the story of each building to tell the story about each.

If you see any wood that catches your eye contact us on our forum and we will get back with you ASAP.

Old Newspaper press found...

So while we have been salvaging barns, rail cars and old buildings this last month we have been coming across some amazing old relics.  This was used as siding on an old homestead building from the early 1900's.  

It is from a 1971 Watford City, North Dakota newspaper press.  They used this old tin for printing newspapers back in the day and the guy who owned the property got it for free from the owner and decided to use it as siding on the original homestead to protect it from weather.  He had the wording placed towards the building so at first we just thought it was some old tin.  But once we started taking it off we noticed this.  

Now we are taking this old tin off the building very carefully and going to salvage what we can.  It is very thin so it takes some time to take it off without ripping the tin.  

What are some design ideas you might do with this???
